They lived in a cottage on the grounds, ate in the dining room, and Larry, having to work only three shows a week, was the most doting young husband in the north woods. Danny Allen was born in Chicago, September 23, 1952. "I was nervous," Larry recalls, "as only a new father can be! I was so scared, I found myself praying, 'Dear God, if anything has to happen, let it happen to me.' " After Danny's birth, the family moved to California, where both Larry and Doris were kept busy for a full year — she on the Jack Carson Show, and he on club dates , throughout the Southwest. It was during this time that the Tennessee Ernie audition came along, and producer Cliffie Stone — already having interviewed . fifty girls — heard Doris. "When Ernie's show was being seen at nine A.M.," says Larry, "Doris got up at five A.M. to be at rehearsals. At an hour like that, one might have expected her to be a little edgy. But I can't remember Doris ever being anything but her generous self. She has no artistic temperament." Today, the two things Doris thinks about most are her new house and son Danny. Now that the Tennessee Ernie Ford Show is seen at a later hour, Mondays through Fridays, she has more time to spend with both her loves. "She's even a good gardener," says Larry. "There's nothing Doris can't do. Honestly, I didn't know I'd married a good cook, until we finally moved into our new place. Before that, we'd been living in apartment hotels, eating our meals out. Now I learn my wife has a secret recipe for spaghetti — got it from a friend who had been to Italy — and, unless she does the shopping, I automatically bring home spaghetti for dinner." The new schedule also has given Doris a chance to spend some of her free time on her hobby — sewing. She's made drapes and curtains for the new house, and also many of her own clothes. On the fashion side, Doris is torrid over toreador pants, has thirty pairs of slacks in one form or another, loves casual clothes, and runs around the house in sandals — or, better still, barefoot. Larry found their rustic North Hollywood home when he discovered its foundation across the street from a house he had come to inspect. "Doris and I walked over to the concrete outline," says Larry, "and I figured where the pipes stuck out of the ground must be the kitchen. 'Big kitchen,' I said to Doris. She agreed, and we both wanted a big kitchen. And there was one large slab of concrete with nothing sticking out of it. Doris pointed, saying quizically, "The living room?' 'Yes,' I said. We visualized a big living room. Agreeing that the foundation was our idea of a perfect house, we contacted the contractor and bought same." "When it came to furnishings," says Doris, "Larry and I discovered we were 'sway' buyers. Most of the furnishings came from Studio Furniture in North Hollywood. It's Swedish modern. Since we have the same tastes, we picked it out together. However, sometimes when we went into the store, I'd exclaim over a chair — and Larry's reaction was a grunt or a raised eyebrow. That meant: 'I think you are crazy — but, if you want it, you are welcome to it.' Naturally, I didn't commit myself. After a few minutes, I'd exclaim over another chair. If Larry exclaimed back, I knew we had 'swayed' each other." Doris and Larry are gadgetcrazy. Since they were able to work with the contractor from the ground up, they have every gadget available for modern living — a built-in oven, table-top stove, inter-corns in every room, special tile in the kitchen for easy cleaning. "If there is a new fangled can opener or bottle opener on the market," says Larry, "we have it." And Doris proudly points out that Larry is a handyman. He has built a three by four by three-foot four-speaker hi-fi set, a cabinet for the TV set, and a built-in wall desk. But, Larry smiles, "when we entertain guests (usually doctors — they are a wonderful gag source), we're forever broiling steaks on the outdoor barbecue." Larry says that, given a free moment, Doris would spend it first with Danny — and second in trying to keep the house neat. "Doris has to pick up after me. She says she always knows where I am, because I leave a trail of records and photographic equipment behind. "And besides being a wonderful housekeeper," continues Larry, "Doris is the most devoted mother in the world. Though Danny's not quite four, he has a . tremendous vocabulary. In fact, we have a game we play. Every afternoon, when Doris comes in, we ask Danny what new words he's learned from television. "Danny's vocabulary is also built by Doris's constant reading to him. And, when she leaves for work, she has supplied Danny with a stack of 45 rpm storybook records to play on his own machine. Even at four, Danny takes good care of the records. He has about sixty and has only broken two. So far, Danny's favorites are 'The Bible Tells Me So,' by Don Cornell, and a copy of Tennessee Ernie's 'Sixteen Tons' which Ernie gave to Doris — Doris gave to Danny — and which he's played to death. Doris wanted to borrow it back one night for some guests, but Danny said, 'No, it's my best record,' and wouldn't give it up! "Doris and I both agree that Danny's a ham. He's been on Ernie's show about ten times, because my parents in Chicago keep writing letters asking, 'When are we going to see Danny?' So Ernie obliges by putting him in the commercials, and Doris uses him as the main prop when she sings, 'It's So Nice To Have a Man Around the House.' . . . When she is finished, Danny pipes up with 'How about that!' He's the only one in the Ernie cast I know of who marches off stage singing, 'Mickey Mouse'! Yes," Larry says facetiously, "Danny worries me. I didn't get that way until I was six." Doris continues, on a more serious note, "Some days just don't go right for Danny — he tramps mud through the house, and brings in a stray cat or two. Or I'll come home from work to find the spring bulbs I planted last weekend dug up and lying on the kitchen table. On days like these, when Danny is 'bad' — that's when he needs our love, and that's when we love him most." Weekends, after her daily show, Doris still surrounds herself with music. Their hi-fi is going constantly, or Danny's record-player is crooning to him by his bed. Memories of her own early childhood in San Antonio come flooding back when Doris sees her own son — so much like herself— tapping his little four-year-old foot in rhythm to a tune. At rare moments like these, Doris and Danny play their special game: "Danny, do you love your mother?" "Yes," says Danny. "And your daddy . . ." "Yes," says Danny, brown eyes smiling. "Do you and Daddy love me?" "Oh, yes!" replies Doris. Says Danny, "Well, how about that!" BUY U. S. SAVINGS BONDS AND INVEST IN YOUR FUTURE
